Hotel installs fire solution for disabled guests

Laura Ashley Manor Hotel in Elstree, England found itself in urgent need of 32 pillow alarms to cater for a large party of hearing impaired guests.

The four-star hotel overlooking the Hertfordshire countryside turned to the Agrippa Pillow Fire Alarm.

CEO of Corus and Laura Ashley Hotels Andrew Clayton, said: “Geofire responded quickly and efficiently when we found ourselves in urgent need of 32 pillow alarms for a large party arriving in two days.”

“The alarms arrived the following day, and they were quick and easy to set up. Our guests had a good night’s sleep secure in the knowledge that they would be alerted in the unlikely event of an emergency. The feedback from our guests was very positive; they appreciated our understanding of their needs, and they appreciated the quality of the product.”

The Agrippa Pillow Fire Alarm is a battery powered, wire-free unit with a pad attachment that simply goes under a pillow. If the fire alarm sounds the pillow pad vibrates, high intensity LED lights flash and an LCD screen displays ‘fire’. The alarm is compact and portable, so can be moved around a building as required.

“It uses digital, wire-free technology with two preset trigger levels plus an optional ‘listen and learn’ function that listens for the unique sound of a specific fire or smoke alarm.”
